Brain serotonin synthesis capacity in obsessive-compulsive disorder: effects of cognitive behavioral therapy and sertraline. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are both effective treatments for some patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), yet little is known about the neurochemical changes related to these ...

Quinolinate promotes macrophage-induced immune tolerance in glioblastoma through the NMDAR/PPARγ signaling axis

open access: yesNature Communications, 2023
The upstream metabolism of tryptophan has been described as a metabolic node in glioblastoma. Here the authors show that the downstream metabolism of tryptophan, resulting in the accumulation of quinolinate in glioblastoma, contributes to pro-tumorigenic

Microbial Tryptophan Metabolism Tunes Host Immunity, Metabolism, and Extraintestinal Disorders

open access: yesMetabolites, 2022
The trillions of commensal microorganisms comprising the gut microbiota have received growing attention owing to their impact on host physiology. Recent advances in our understandings of the host–microbiota crosstalk support a pivotal role of microbiota ...

Tryptophan plays an important role in yeast’s tolerance to isobutanol

open access: yesBiotechnology for Biofuels, 2021
Background Isobutanol is considered a potential biofuel, thanks to its high-energy content and octane value, limited water solubility, and compatibility with gasoline.

Disturbed amino acid metabolism in HIV: association with neuropsychiatric symptoms

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry, 2015
Blood levels of the amino acid phenylalanine, as well as of the tryptophan breakdown product kynurenine, are found to be elevated in human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1)-infected patients.

Tryptophan Metabolism Is Associated with BMI and Adipose Tissue Mass and Linked to Metabolic Disease in Pediatric Obesity

open access: yesNutrients, 2022
The obesity epidemic has contributed to an escalating prevalence of metabolic diseases in children. Overnutrition leads to increased tryptophan uptake and availability.

Abnormal Tryptophan Metabolism in HIV and Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Host metabolism has recently gained more attention for its roles in physiological functions and pathologic conditions. Of these, metabolic tryptophan disorders generate a pattern of abnormal metabolites that are implicated in various diseases.

Tryptophan metabolism and disposition in cancer biology and immunotherapy

open access: yesBioscience Reports, 2022
Tumours utilise tryptophan (Trp) and its metabolites to promote their growth and evade host defences. They recruit Trp through up-regulation of Trp transporters, and up-regulate key enzymes of Trp degradation and down-regulate others.
